Is tobradex (tobramycin and dexamethasone) good to get rid of eye styes?

Stye: Perhaps-- if used with hot compresses twice a day. If the stye lasts more than a week or two, see your local ophthalmologist. It may need to be drained. Do not overuse tobradex, (tobramycin and dexamethasone) since it may lead to secondary glaucoma or cataract formation.

Stye: When used in combination with hot compresses twice a day, it can be quite effective. If the stye persists beyond 2 to 3 weeks, see your ophthalmologist-- it may need to be drained.
